CORPORATE EVENTS BARCELONA

Corporate events in Barcelona. This is what we want to talk about in this study.

Barcelona is next to Madrid, the city of Spain where more corporate events held in Spain. “Barcelona es bona si la bolsa sona” is what the Catalans who know this city say, meaning that with money in Barcelona one can get everything or almost everything and that all things are good because Barcelona is a great city to hold a meeting or corporate event.

While the capital of Spain hosts a large number of events for the companies that are based there, Barcelona stands out as the headquarters of many international events: whether business conventions, incentive trips, team building events, and conferences. Hence there are a large number of event agencies, DMC’s and specialist event suppliers that operate in this great city. Some of these agencies are not originally from Barcelona, ​​but still consider Barcelona as one of their main destinations and have offices and staff located there and work diligently in this city. Barcelona is a great city for business events.

You only have to walk once in a while through the Hotel Arts, to breathe in that atmosphere of a multinational company, fundamentally North American, that choose Barcelona as a city for their company events. But the famous Hotel Arts is just one of the many hotels to hold corporate events in Barcelona. There are many more possibilities.

But what does Barcelona have that makes it so attractive internationally?

First of all, Barcelona is a great destination (Barcelona has a very good climate, good gastronomy, competitive prices, political security, etc.), but then Barcelona also stands out as a modern, advanced city with style, liberal, with an excellent climate, with the four seasons well defined, without having an extreme cold in winter and without a suffocating heat during the summer. And the Catalans are hard-working people who feel like Europeans.

The best time to make a business meeting in Barcelona is in the spring and autumn, it is for this reason that the months of April, May, June, September, and October are the months of greater tourist occupation and more corporate events are organized in Barcelona.

Barcelona is a beautiful city and this makes it an ideal place for corporate events. Gaudí and his works, Park Guell, La Pedrera and, of course, the Sagrada Familia, the marinas and beaches, the Ramblas, Paseo de Gracia, Rambla Catalunya, the Barrio del Born, and the Gothic, are just some of the Barcelona attractions that place it as a favorite destination within the World MICE market.

For another majestic work of Antonio Gaudí, one has to only see the Casa Mila, popularly known as the Pedrera, to understand its modernist art. The architect Gaudi built it between 1906 and 1912 and it’s located in the heart of Barcelona, ​​in Paseo de Gracia, in the midst of the most expensive and beautiful city shops, though this building stands out for its originality and looks nothing like it in the environment.

The great jewel of Barcelona, however, is el Templo de la Sagrada Familia. The Temple of the Holy Family, with more than 3 million visitors a year, it is the most visited monument in Spain and one of the most visited monuments by foreigners in the city next to the Camp Nou, the Barça field, of the Futbol Club Barcelona, the club that has positioned Barcelona in the world and with the best players in its staff, it is admired by all the fans of this sport.. The spectacularity of this temple, designed by Antoni Gaudí is unquestionable.

To understand and enjoy this wonderful work of art you just need to miss a morning or afternoon inside the temple, which can be visited since late 2011 when Pope Benedict XVI consecrated it. The shapes and colors transport the visitor into a world of fantasy. Its construction began on March 19, 1882, and the Catalan architect, originally from Reus and promoter of modernism, directed the work until 1926 when he died from being run over by a tram.

La Torre Agbar, another emblematic and original building due to its phallic or suppository form, as some say, is the starting point of a beautiful route through the 22 @ and the Poblenou: a booming neighborhood of Barcelona, where they have been converting industrial warehouses of the industrial era of the 60s in which a purely industrial past coexists, with rehabilitated factories that are now civic centers, companies, commercial premises or libraries, with a new technological pole of the city, headquarters of hundreds of companies.

Who goes to Barcelona and does not see the monument to Colon? … The statue of Columbus with his finger pointing towards the Americas (although he does not really point to it) is one of the legacies he has left to Barcelona as a result of the Universal Exposition of 1888. The monument to Columbus, which is more than 50 meters high, is located in the lower part of the Ramblas, next to the port and has a massive sculpture of Christopher Columbus and eight robust lions at the base of the monument that everyone likes to take a picture with.

The monument, which got constructed 130 years ago, has an old elevator that allows anyone to go to a viewpoint that allows you to a enjoy unique view of this coastal part of Catalonia.

Domènech i Montaner was the architect who built the Palau de la Música Catalana in full Gothic, is a building that leaves visitors with open mouth. Imposing on the outside, and especially on the inside, this Modernist building was finished building in 1908 and has an ancient and original part and a more modern part.

One of the most legendary theaters of the Catalan capital El Gran Teatro del Liceo. The Gran Teatre del Liceu was inaugurated in the mid-nineteenth century in the Ramblas, which then was the focal point of the Barcelona bourgeoisie, to host opera performances. And today is also an emblematic place to celebrate our corporate events Barcelona.

In the beginning, The Lyceum, was the largest theater and opera in Europe, among other things, will always be remembered for having suffered a fire in 1994 and burned his stage and part of his memories. The theater was completely remodeled and now remains a center of Catalan culture and meeting place for fans to opera and classical music.

It’s visit is almost obligatory. Whether at a concert, a performance of opera, ballet or a reservation in the morning, the congressman or participant in a company event coming to Barcelona has to know its great hall, with ornaments and musical references, but also the hall of mirrors that can be rented for a corporate event.

La Rambla, also known as Las Ramblas, is one of the main arteries of Barcelona and one of the most popular attractions of the city. It is a pleasant walk of 1.3 kilometers that connects Plaza de Catalunya to the Columbus statue and the old port of the city. Nowadays we have Port Vell, the Yacht Club and the shopping center called Maremagnum.

Las Ramblas are always lively, full of tourists and street performers who act as human statues. La Rambla is like a big zoo with all kinds of people. You’ll have to sit there on one of the many terraces to watch and get to know the most picturesque and most original. The walk has numerous terraces and pleasantries to sit and watch the comings and goings of passers-by even though the prices have increased because it is such a touristic area and being somewhat dangerous for the many pickpockets abound in the area searching for the little wary and confused tourist.

The Camp Nou and its museum is the most visited museum in Barcelona and a point that everyone likes to visit. ” The Camp Nou experience” begins with a tour of the stadium where visitors can access and see the changing rooms and perform the same route as the players to reach the field, reaching the grass that has witnessed so many games. This is where Messi plays, the best footballer in the world, according to many Catalans. Although the fans of Real Madrid fans will never want to acknowledge that.

The presidential seats, the bench, and the press room are some of the places that are covered while the audio guide tells the story of the stadium and the biggest victories and vicissitudes of his team.

The final point to visit is the Museum of F.C. Barcelona, ​​a space that allows knowing the trajectory of the club over more than 100 years through photographs, objects, and memories, as well as seeing different trophies and personal objects of the great legends that have been part of the team throughout its story.

Barcelona is on the list of destinations for the MICE market as one of the first cities in Europe and the world to host a greater number of international congresses. Since 1992, the people of Barcelona have worked very hard for this. The Tourist Office, the Convention Bureau led by the already retired Airy Garrigosa, worked hard for it. And today the success has been so spectacular that some think it is even too much.
